I'm working with 2.13.20, trying to reproduce a piece of shape-note
music that has a 4-dot (with no line) repeat bar at the beginning of
the piece.
The snippet titled "Printing a repeat sign at the beginning of a
piece" works as described if I use the "|:" bar, but doesn't display
the bar if I use ":" (or any other bar style) instead.
What's special about "|:" in this case? Is there some property I can
override to allow arbitrary bar lines to be displayed at the beginning
of a piece? Or is there something I can change so that ":" will be
treated as a repeat bar just as "|:" is?

HTH,

Thanks Marc. That will work nicely for my case and it's simpler than
the documented snippet.
I'm still curious, though, about why lilypond treats the two barlines
differently.
It may be intentional, but what's controlling this behavior?
